Avi,

This problem has brought two issues to my mind.  One, is it possible to
allow the user to select which fields are shown when the library window
is open??  Also, to make the field widths adjustable would be a plus.  This
would allow persons who wish to view their references by year or journal,
for instance, to not have to deal with the author field.

Additionally, our research lab, who uses EndNote PIM for Mac MS Word, has
noticed that when the library window is presented, esp. after having been
sorted by author then year, that the sort does not do what one would expect.
Namely, if you two papers, "Smith and Abelson, 1990" and "Smith and Jones,
1989", we would expect the sort order to be the 1989 paper first, then
the 1990 paper.  However, since EndNote sorts on not just the first author
of the author field, but the WHOLE field, the papers are sorted out of
order.  Is there any way to include an option to sort on just the first
author of the author field??  After all, it is only the first author that
is displayed in the library window!

Besides a few quirks to work around, I do think that EndNote is one of the
best, bug-free, products out on the market!

Ciao,
Bob
